From Women's Health, December 2009"If you tend to walk at an easygoing pace, pick up your speed and you may live longer, reports a study in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging. Researchers tracked the hoofing habits of 1300 older women for eight years and discovered that faster walkers had a lower death rate than slower ones and used fewer meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Treading quickly is a good indicator of overall health, says principal investigator Hubert Blain, M.D., Ph.D., of the University Hospital of Montpellier in France."
